Although it is not yet possible to determine the specific age and location, Hao Ren can still reason about the “landing point” of this retrospective from the surrounding building styles and Vivian handwriting records-if the guess is correct In this case, he and Lily should now be between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, and judging from the accent of passers-by, it should be French territory, but it is impossible to determine which city it is.
However, it can provide a lot of convenience for judging the age. At least Hao Ren can determine what identity he should act in the current historical period: an independent safari Demon Hunter hidden in human society .
Before leaving, he learned in detail about Demon Hunter from Hasselblad and Bai Huo. As the most powerful influencing factor in the whole mythological era, the Demon Hunter race is the group that Hao Ren is destined to have to deal with frequently throughout the entire historical journey, and their information is the most crucial information for this retrospective journey. After the duck-filling evil, Hao Ren learned that even in the most heated era of conflict, Demon Hunter is not a group of crazy hunters who are instigated by fanaticism and hatred, as they usually imagined, although they are indeed driven by fanaticism and hatred , But their actions and organizational structure are always full of reason and discipline.
In addition to the saints as the ruling organization and the elders who guard the Arctic and almost never get involved in this world, the Demon Hunter troops traveling in the human world are mainly divided into three categories:
The first type is the "Holy Army" equivalent to the Frontal Legion, also known as the "War Corps". This system was very active during the mythological war. They appeared on the frontal battlefields in thousands. The strong force directly destroyed all mythical kingdoms in ancient times and was the promoter of all "goddess twilight", but after the end of the mythological era, this first-line army lost its meaning of existence, so it gradually disintegrated and reorganized into the second and Category III troops;
The second type of troops are "hunting troop", also known as "hunting corps", they are elite combat troops composed of a small number of Demon Hunter, the number of people usually ranging from tens to hundreds, mainly active in the era of mythology In the late period of the late period and the dark ages after the end of the mythological era, at this time the army of the "gods" had collapsed, and there were no more epic battles that swept through the Great Plains, but the remains of the "gods" after the collapse Exile sects and small heretic cults still breed in the dark. The so-called hundred-footed insects die rather than stiff. These exile sects can often control one or two towns even if they decline, and the "hunting group" is used to deal with these scattered professional teams;
The third type of troops can no longer be called troops. They are actually a completely fragmented armed force called "stalkers". Safaris are usually Demon Hunters acting alone, or occasionally formed teams of two or three people. These fighting elites are active in the same period as the second type of troops. They are masters of independent battles. They are dormant in human civilization in alien "spirits". After the slit, these orphaned combat elites worked tirelessly as sweepers. In the rural villages and wild places that the hunting group could not take care of, it was the place where the squad Demon Hunter showed its talents.
The two armed sequences of the hunting group and the hunter are not completely isolated. Under certain conditions, they are actually one, or they can be transformed into each other: if the elite hunters in the hunting group pass some tests, they will get out alone. Qualification for hunting, so that they become hunters, and if an emergency occurs (such as a group of remaining heretic gods found in a certain place), the safari Demon Hunter that is nearby will be immediately called up to form a hunting group fighting.
Hasselblad once told Hao Ren that the organization of Demon Hunter is indeed full of discipline. However, even the tightly-closed groups will have loopholes. In the battle sequence of Demon Hunter, the easiest to take advantage of is the third type of troops: those who live in isolation , The mysterious roaming school Demon Hunter.
In a barbarous area where the heterogeneous "remaining" forces are still strong, the connection between the safari Demon Hunter and the organization will be extremely weak. They will even penetrate into the enemy ’s hinterland for hunting, and cannot contact the outside world for half a century. They will even change their face completely after tracing some extremely cunning prey, even when they are in contact with other Demon Hunter, they will keep their secret identity-this sounds incredible, but under the premise of the phenomenon of "innate hostility", everything can be explained. . Whether they are Demon Hunter or aliens, they are used to judging whether the person in front of them is "non-human" by facing instincts. As long as they see each other without the urge to cut people with a knife, they can eliminate the enemy's identity, so the two After Demon Hunter meets, the process of confirming identity is not as rigorous as imagined, especially between the hunters Demon Hunter.
Now a "different number" appears in this Space - Time, that is Hao Ren: he is a complete "alien", but he will not cause innate hostility in front of anyone, which allows him to drill easily This biggest loophole.
The insurance status he set for himself is a safari Demon Hunter.
To ensure safety, he borrowed a full set of Demon Hunter camouflage from Hasselblad before departure, all of which are genuine and genuine guys, and are Demon Hunter standard equipment that only the enchanting craftsmen of Colper can make. Take this set of things to ancient times, even if you encounter the Demon Hunter elders, you don't have to worry about being faked. However, he is now only equipped with holy silver daggers and some amulets and symbol cards that can symbolize identity, because a safari hunter will not be fully armed at all times, and it is their usual means to disguise as an ordinary person.
Medieval French towns, like all other places in Europe during the same period, are enveloped by a dark and gloomy atmosphere, especially at night: the curfew system prohibits people from going out during this time period and hunting vigorously The witch movement is even more self-defeating, and the entertainment activities at night are almost non-existent. In order to prevent the accused from being exposed as a "witchcrafter", residents do not even dare to scream loudly in their own homes: Quiet silence covered the town streets under the night.
Only night watchers and cavalry who patrolled the town dared to walk on the streets at this time.
The Renaissance flames have been ignited in Italian cities, but this flame is far from burning to a small town in a remote part of France, where darkness has long been entrenched.
Hao Ren and Lily walk through empty streets and lanes, while paying attention to avoiding troublesome night watchers, while concentrating on perceiving the sight of those who may be hidden in the dark: the latter is their goal One.
"It's stinky everywhere," Lily complained with dissatisfaction. She had torn off the long skirt that made her very uncomfortable, but its length still made the Husky girl very uncomfortable. The latter still had to carry a skirt while running, and that ’s all. What ’s even more unpleasant here is the smell that can never be avoided at the end of the street. ”I ’ve only seen it in books before, but I did n’t expect a medieval European town It's really stinky. "
"This year, even big cities do n’t have much awareness of public health, let alone this kind of town that does n’t know whether it is a city," Hao Ren is also very uncomfortable with the smell around him, but he is very thankful for his nose and It is not as sensitive as Lily, so it has not reached an intolerable point. "If this environment causes frequent plagues, the witch hunt will not be so serious."
"Do you have any ideas about Landlord?" While Lily endured the surrounding odors and tried to distinguish possible odors from the odors, he whispered to Hao Ren, "find Vivian in such a dark place Sleepy, how do I feel so difficult ... "
"Of course there are ideas," Hao Ren has always been confident, "First of all, our" dropping point "will definitely be near the sleeping place of Vivian, geographically, do n’t worry too much, and secondly, the surrounding of Vivian will not appear. Normal paranormal phenomena, these paranormal phenomena will inevitably attract some guys: heterogeneous survivors seeking strength and heritage, or Demon Hunter who sniffed the taste, and the latter two will lead us to the right place. So our The first step is to investigate the situation, to see if there are legends of demons and ghosts in the vicinity, it is best to have recent events, and then go to investigate as an exorcist ... Anyway, this is the best way I can think of. Of course, if this method does not work, I still have a follow-up plan, which is a big mess, so that Demon Hunter will be attracted in all cases, and then I will change my face and find a way to mix into the Demon Hunter team to see if I can steal them. There are certainly valuable clues to the local monitoring records. However, the second plan is very dangerous, and more importantly, you must not expose it. Before Demon Hunter, so then you'd better back is 'safe house' by myself ...... "
The “safe house” in the mouth of Hao Ren is the hunter ’s cabin inlaid on the border of Space - Time. By enticing the locals to test, Hao Ren has confirmed that only the hunter ’s cabin and he and Lily can see and enter. It is a well-deserved security stronghold .
"I think it ’s the first plan," Lily is of course reluctant to stay in the still black and white hut, "Relax Landlord, I ’m not afraid even if I meet Demon Hunter ... Oh, it ’s not a silly talk It ’s a positive fight, ca n’t I still run? I have a special bloodline, even if there is an innate hostile factor remaining in this old body, its hostile response is not so strong, it is easy to get from the Demon Hunter eyelids It slipped underneath. And if it didn't work, I pretended to be the 'prey' you caught ... If you encounter aliens, you pretend to be the prey I caught. Oops, if you think about it, our combination is simply Wudi. "
Hao Ren: "..."
The combination Wudi does not know Wudi, but this dog's logic is really Wudi!
At this moment, Lily suddenly stopped.
"Wait," she said to Hao Ren in a low voice. "Someone in front ... I smell the potion."
